Who we are | What The CCEG Does For You | Why We Do It | 2005 News

We are the CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS EMPLOYER GROUP, LLC.(CCEG). We are a group of business owners in conjunction with the AGC dedicated to reducing the cost and liability of employment.

The CCEG, as it’s called, is sponsored and primarily-owned by the Associated General Contractors of Northwest Ohio and the Construction Contractors Council. The CCEG invites successful, well managed companies to join us.

Being a successful business is precisely why the CCEG was started. Success also means hiring employees, paying wages, and hiring accountants and lawyers to help companies manage employment, compliance and payroll. This is the side of the company that generates ZERO revenue and costs a ton of money. It’s like having an 800 pound gorilla just waiting to crush you.

Keeping up with government regulations is next to impossible, let alone wages, tax rates, workers’ compensation and everything else that comes with employment, compliance and payroll. The following illustration is an example of the ever increasing stream of mandated rules and regulations. An employer is REQUIRED by law to be in compliance with each and every one of them.

Most companies rely on outside accountants and lawyers to help manage and protect the business. The CCEG is another integral part of the team.

The CCEG is a Professional Employer Organization, or PEO as it’s called. Simply stated, a PEO is a business entity that allows many companies to come together and manage the cost and liability of employment without disrupting normal business operations. While the focus is on doing business, the CCEG is handling the non-revenue, administrative side of the business. The primary function of the CCEG is to be cost effective and keep our participants compliant and accurate.

According to a recent article in The Kiplinger Letter, a PEO is “A money saving option for small business … gaining in popularity. Professional employer organizations, PEO’s, can do triple duty: Handle payroll, manage benefits and check compliance with workplace laws. They also handle benefits clients would otherwise skip, such as 401(k)’s… and most save $12,000 per year.”
